Everything a Suspense Novel Should Be
Well written, fast paced, good plot, interesting and believable characters, never dull. Everything one can want from a mystery/suspense novel.

To put it bluntly, not bad

"Blunt Darts" is the first novel in Jerimiah Healy's John Cuddy private detective series. As such it's a good effort. I am a huge fan of private detective novels and this was my first Cuddy effort. I would rank it in the middle of the pack among such novels. It has some elements that make these novels great. The hero is world weary and lonely, having recently lost his wife. The story has some good hardboiled elements and the ending takes shome shocking turns. On the downside is Healy's use of two overused elements, The Rich Family with Dark Secrets, and The Corrupt Small Town Police Force. Quite frankly, a lot of private detective writers seem tohave a pathological dislike for rich people and small town cops. Overall, this isn't a bad start to the series, but here's hoping that later stories are more intersting.
